Comments:
Replaced all the feedlines 3 days before the contest with N2NL's help - thanks
Dave! After a previous HP contest effort an irate neighbor had severely
shortened the previous feedlines. I figured a low power effort would forestall
a similar action until I get them inside some steel pipe. I am sure the
neighbors were confused to see the antennas rotating all weekend and no other
evidence of my being radio active.
I must admit, it was really fun to play without packet and amplifiers for a
change. Ninety percent of the time the 100 watts was totally effective. I did
miss a few juicy mults that I'd normally work and it was hard to get any decent
runs going on 20 which was my weak link for a top score. I always have trouble
hearing on the low bands so I don't think LP made much difference there.
Thanks for the Q's and the competition!
I see that K1BX has the big SOLP score - Congrats!
